Household Employee Psychological Suitability Assessment
A structured psychological assessment designed to inform suitability for household employment and caregiving responsibilities, based on the requirements of the role and the assessment findings.
What the Assessment Covers
The assessment is structured around the psychological demands of household and caregiving work.
- Psychological and emotional regulation functioning
- Behavioral and interpersonal functioning
- Reliability, responsibility, and capacity to manage household or caregiving duties
- Relevant psychological risk indicators
- Trauma and adverse experiences, where clinically appropriate
- Areas requiring further assessment or referral
Who This Is For
What This Assessment Is Not
Clear boundaries protect both the household and the candidate, and keep the assessment ethically and clinically sound.
It is not a test of whether a person is “mentally ill”.
It does not predict or guarantee future behavior.
It does not eliminate employment risk or replace background and reference checks.
It is not a fitness-to-work adjudication or a legal determination.
Findings reflect the information available at the time of assessment only.
